danasgoodstuff Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 So I bought the Dec db 'cause it had the readers pole and an article on Sun Ra and one on recent AACM doing (gotta love how Chicago centered they are). But then I read the condescending POS they printed to commemorate JOS being voted into the hall of fame. Hard to believe that anti-organ bias still exists, but since it's basically a subspecies of class prejudice, why wouldn't it? Have any of our resident B# players seen this and care to chime in? Quote

danasgoodstuff Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Posted December 2, 2006 No, I actually meant a lower case #, i.e. 3..., oops! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 I have not seen it. What's the scoop? Quote
bertrand Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 In the new issue, a reader also writes to complain about the JOS piece. Great article of Lee Morgan - now I know the name of the woman he was cheating on his girlfriend with when he was killed. Bertrand. Quote
Soul Stream Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 I got the issue and found the piece on Jimmy's induction into the Hall Of Fame very good. I really enjoyed Grady Tate chiming in on some of the things they did on Verve. I didn't detect any sort of bashing going on.... DB calling Organ Grinder Swing Jimmy's pinnacle is certainly right on. That record is just such a monster. Quote

Jazz Kat Posted December 5, 2006 Report Posted December 5, 2006 I was thinking of making a thread. Like a "This month in Downbeat" type of thread to talk about the latest issues, but I didn't know how many board members read it. Anyone read the latest issue? The Yellowjackets were blindfolded. Hank Mobley's Workout was one of the tunes. Bob Mintzer said the rhythm section wasn't in the pocket. Yeah right! Quote

JSngry Posted December 5, 2006 Report Posted December 5, 2006 The rest of them I'd expect that from. But Bob Mintzer should know better. Quote
